Mardi Gras Mix! Mardi Gras, or "Fat Tuesday", is the last day of the Carnival season as it always falls the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Typically a season of parties, parades and feasting. It is well known for it's beads, particularly Gold, Green and Purple beads

Ever wonder about the history of the official Mardi Gras colors? Rex selected the official Mardi Gras colors in 1872, honoring the visiting Russian Grand Duke Alexis Alexis Alexandrovich Romanoff, who suggested the colors. The 1892 Rex Parade theme "Symbolism of Colors" affirmed the colors' meaning.

You will recieve 50 grams of loose beads. I also have a Mardi Gras mix in size 11/0.
